Addressing Astrology Skepticism

Monday, May 14th, 2012

The dominant astrology of today, what sells and almost everything on-line, is a watered down form of an ancient science: overly simplistic methods yielding content applicable to anyone, laden with poetic, heartfelt inspiration and false hope as a means to help you construct your own self-fulfilling prophesies.

To those who doubt the validity of astrology, I don’t believe in the form of astrology you’ve been exposed to either.

Question:

There are only 12 signs of the zodiac. How can there be only 12 types of people?

Answer:

Sun sign astrology (i.e., “horoscopes”) isn’t authentic astrology. Of course there aren’t only 12 types of people.

Please see this article for more information: http://scottpetullo.com/blog/2011/11/libra-and-capricorn-personality-similarities-and-differences/

This article outlines why the astrology you’ve been exposed to is trivial: http://scottpetullo.com/blog/2011/05/astrology-accuracy-5-reasons-your-astrology-isn%E2%80%99t-accurate/

Question:

How can you say that astrology “influences” anything? Jupiter’s distance from Earth, for instance, is over 500 million miles. How does Jupiter influence anything?

Answer:

While you may hear astrologers say things like “the influence of a planet,” it’s a misleading thing to say.

Alternatively, it’s accurate to say the patterns involving heavenly bodies symbolize life circumstances and human nature.

Although the Moon influences the tides, my belief is that all associated phenomena (e.g., lunar eclipses, Moon Void of Course, Full Moon, Moon in detriment, etc.) and other celestial phenomena don’t make anything happen, but they do absolutely correspond to real life events, based on how those universal events show up in your comprehensive charts.

Question:

How can you say astrology is real science? I don’t believe it. Isn’t it a pseudo-science?

Answer:

Again, I don’t believe in the astrology you’ve been exposed to either. As a science, astrology peaked in the Middle Ages. Authentic astrology isn’t pseudo-science.

Rather than only one or a handful of factors applying to any given person, such as “Leo” (Sun sign) and a corresponding “horoscope” that reads like a fortune cookie, real astrology includes hundreds of indicators derived from the full date of birth, location, and exact time that form patterns. Pattern recognition, symbolizing personality and life events, is the basis of this empirically based science.

For example, even though a person may have only a modest net worth at the moment, having 93% of all related indicators favoring upcoming exceptionally rewarding financial conditions, the subject will undoubtedly see an upswing in funds.

Accuracy in prediction and personality analysis relies on a solid system of checks and balances. My proprietary systems include handwriting analysis, and comprehensive astrology and numerology (ancient and modern forms of both).

The Age of Reason in the 1600s AD began astrology’s serious state of decline due largely to a scientific superiority complex by the self-appointed science authorities. A biased redefinition of science prevailed through the pretense of “logic” and astrology (and numerology, known as “number mysticism”) were downgraded and tossed on the pseudo-science heap.

The Age of Reason activists claimed astrology could not possibly be a science because it didn’t hold up under their scientific method, which entails logically compiling observable, measurable data.

That verdict is baseless because astrology (the astrology from that time) is a science  by definition: results are empirically, regularly derived from the same sets of circumstances.

Merriam-Webster dictionary defines science as “A knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method.” Also, it defines scientific method as “Principles and procedures for the systematic pursuit of knowledge involving the recognition and formulation of a problem, the collection of data through observation and experiment, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.”

Authentic astrology is empirically based—“…objective collection of data through observation and experiment and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.” It is truly a science.

An aside, scientific method, by modern standards, doesn’t automatically make a notion valid, no matter how many peer reviews. Peer review has proven to be futile time and time again.

“…Peer review is the benchmark by which most new scientific research tends to be judged. If that research is to be taken seriously by the scientific community then it must be accepted for publication by one of a fairly small number of academic or quasi-academic journals, such as Nature, Science and Scientific American.

Peer review is not a perfect system. In the golden era of Twentieth century science it wasn’t even thought necessary: neither Watson & Crick nor Einstein were peer reviewed. But in today’s abstruse, fragmented world where the various branches of science have grown increasingly recondite and specialized, peer-review has become widely accepted as the least worst method by which quality science can be sifted from junk science…” “…What we see happening is the deterioration of ‘peer review’ into something more akin to ‘pal review.’”
James Delingpole

Question:

Considering the enormous amount of skepticism regarding astrology, surely there are studies that prove it invalid?

Answer:

Incredibly, there aren’t any. All skepticism seems to be directed toward trivial astrology, and I agree with that criticism.

I’d be interested in finding out about the empirical research of the skeptics. I suspect they simply dismiss the science of astrology after a quick Internet search without any serious evaluation on their part at all.

It always amazes me when people draw conclusions based on the limits of their understanding.

I have yet to see any study attempting to invalidate comprehensive astrology. Please see this article for more information:
http://scottpetullo.com/blog/2011/08/numerology-and-astrology-q-a-which-studies-prove-them-invalid/

You can’t prove a theory valid, you can only invalidate it.

My credentials are the result of objective, empirically based research involving my work (clients, public figures, people of all walks of life, real-world concerns, etc.) and I state my findings about astrology and numerology as theories. For example, comprehensive astrology and numerology represent human character, compatibility, and unique personal life circumstances and events. My theories have yet to be invalidated. Support of my theories comes from my clients, in that they value my findings enough to pay me.

The legitimacy of authentic astrology is realized through informally observing the life events and circumstances of other people without telling them, in conjunction with paying attention to their personal natal and cyclical timing charts. In this way, “self-fulfilling prophesy” isn’t applicable.

Once you witness, as I have, the constant repetition of the patterns in the comprehensive astrology and numerology charts absolutely corresponding to personality traits and events in peoples’ lives, it is easy to stop rejecting the concept of personal fate and the sciences of numerology and astrology.

Question:

According to one of my favorite scientists, over the course of the last 2000 years, the Earth has wobbled, which has changed the signs from their original positions. Aren’t astrologers off one full sign?

Answer:

No, astrologers aren’t off one full sign. And 2000 years from now they won’t be off two full signs.

Again, it always amazes me when people, especially scientists—esteemed scientists, draw conclusions based on the limits of their understanding.

Astrologers have accepted the concept of precession–the Aries point moving slightly backwards each year–for approximately 2140 years, since Hipparchus discovered the precession of the equinoxes.

This discrepancy is reflected in the Sidereal zodiac, but not the Tropical zodiac, which is, by far, the dominant zodiac used in Western astrology.

The Secret Reason Behind Success and Failure: What You Can and Can’t Control in Your Life

Monday, May 7th, 2012

The concept that “you are in complete control of your destiny” is, in one way, true yet, in another, completely false.

Five very talented entrepreneurs with similar successful backgrounds, all about the same age and intelligence level, embark separately on similar investment projects. Two succeed wildly, two lose money, and one fails miserably. Why, because of luck? My view is that personal fate is disguised as luck, no matter how diligent, adaptable, and resourceful you are.

I’m not talking about a situation where someone prepares so well, such as a farmer taking the time to learn how to more efficiently run his operation, that he boosts his yield commensurately over the previous years.

I’m talking about situations and conditions beyond your control, that conventional thinking hastily labels “luck.”

While it’s accurate to say that you have power over how you decide to deal with the circumstances and events in your life that arise, to believe you can always shape-shift the results into exactly the reality your ego-self demands, like you’re some sort of superhero, is delusional.

Two things you can’t control:

1. The undercurrent of your overall personal karma that symbolically shapes everything in your life and the resulting occurrences. This includes your collective timing, relative to specific areas of your life (e.g., finances, career, love life, etc.).

2. The level of unique, innate strife or harmony between you and another person. Your compatibility with any given person is measurable, and that includes the level of rewarding or challenging energy, professionally or personally.

One thing you can control:

How you react, how much compassion and unconditional love you generate, which can go a long way in enhancing your destiny. You are in control of how you respond, yet your level of resourcefulness (making the most of every situation) is limited to the innate quantity you possess–some people have much more than others.

This doesn’t leave you helpless, but rather it’s a dose of reality so you are that much closer to accepting that which you can’t change in your life, thus making your life more enjoyable and meaningful.

Every action and thought has personal consequences that shape your future karma, much of it in future lives. In that sense, your level of control is profound.

But you must also acknowledge that your control over your current fate is very limited in this specific lifetime and that there will always be parts of your life that you can’t manipulate.

The collective current of your behavior (i.e., “karma”) from previous lifetimes and current life shapes your present like an unyielding force-field and there’s nothing you can do about it besides constructive and ingenious reaction.

Three of the five entrepreneurs mentioned above, had they sought and heeded my advice, would have realized that their personal conditions were brutally perilous at that time, calling for great caution, and they would have avoided financial loss.

Comprehensive astrology and numerology successfully outline personal fate, the overall inclinations in your life, and handwriting analysis uncovers hidden personality features, allowing you to dramatically reduce your risk.

Supermoon and Beware, Two Eclipses, May-June 2012

Tuesday, May 1st, 2012

Overview: Be a little more mindful of your actions and pay attention to the circumstances that develop in your life leading up to and around the dates May 20th and June 4th 2012.

Universal cycles (eclipses, retrogrades, cycles of the Moon, et al.), by themselves, aren’t exceedingly potent and the energy must be corroborated to have meaningful symbolic impact.

Any single eclipse, for instance, may represent (with supporting factors) major life circumstances for one person, and for another person it may have little to no significance. Supplementary patterns in your natal and timing comprehensive charts must be identified; the exclusive symbolism of these configurations related to your life’s happenings prevails over universal cycles.

Still, it’s a good idea to take note of such cosmic events, and how they associate with your natal and timing charts. In doing so, you’re able to witness the cyclical nature of life, and even avoid some of life’s difficulties.

The legitimacy of this advice is realized through informally observing the actions and life circumstances of others without telling them you are doing it, in conjunction with paying attention to intermittent cosmic events (or better yet, their personal cyclical timing charts), like the ones mentioned in this article. In this way, “self-fulfilling prophesy” isn’t applicable.

Supermoons (or “Lunar Perigee”) aren’t directly related to eclipses; it occurs when the Moon’s orbit is closest to the Earth. It’s usually is a non event (http://scottpetullo.com/blog/2011/03/natural-disasters-and-the-full-moon-lunar-perigee-3-19-2011/), but this particular Supermoon/Full Moon in the sign of Scorpio represents a disadvantaged, distorted Moon energy (Moon is in detriment, “Fall” in the sign of Scorpio, opposite of exalted Moon in Taurus), so I recommend paying a little more attention to it.

On the evening of May 5th, 2012 (PDT) the Full Moon may appear larger than normal due to its orbit being closer to Earth than usual. Details about this Full Moon/Supermoon: Exact by degree, 5-5-2012 8:35 p.m. PDT, 16 degrees 01 minutes Scorpio.

Again, such universal events as eclipses don’t have the same exact significance for everyone, but there exist some consistencies to watch for.

These two blog posts address the phenomenon of solar and lunar eclipses:

http://scottpetullo.com/blog/2011/01/new-moon-solar-eclipse-1-4-2010-5-tips/

http://scottpetullo.com/blog/2010/12/full-moonlunar-eclipse-12212010-7-insights/


Solar and lunar eclipses May 2012–June 2012 details:

1. Solar eclipse/New Moon exact by degree 5-20-2012 4:47 p.m. PDT 00 degrees 20 minutes Gemini.

2. Lunar eclipse/Full Moon exact by degree 6-4-2012 4:11 a.m. PDT 14 degrees 13 minutes Sagittarius.

Three things to keep in mind about eclipses:

1. The two to three weeks leading up to an eclipse, and particularly the few days before and after, characteristically include a strange, skewed, overblown concentration of energy fostering scattered focus and illogical behavior, including emotional flare-ups (more so during lunar eclipses).

2. Discernment is obscured and confusion abounds. Be vigilant with any legal matters such as contracts, or high-risk undertakings.

3. Keep your guard up for the unexpected.

More information about eclipses and other universal astrology factors here: http://scottpetullo.com/blog/2010/01/the-cyclical-nature-of-life-reflected-by-various-minor-astrology-factors/

Increasing your attentiveness of such cosmic events and what they mean to you allows you to capitalize on the rewarding occurrences in your life and minimize your overall risk.

Defeat Your Rival: Esoteric Security Investigations

Monday, April 16th, 2012

You must thoroughly understand your competition to triumph.

Everyone has their own unique strengths and weaknesses, and many of the most dominant ones can’t be exposed by conventional methods.

Alternatively, comprehensive astrology and numerology allow you to expose limitations and vulnerabilities, along with many other personal dynamics, such as when a person will appear to be invincible and untouchable.

Think of how much time and money you could save if you knew the approximate times when you would most definitely lose to your adversary.

Also, think of the incredible advantage you would have if you knew when your opponent is most ineffectual.

Please note: Hazardous situations such as a person’s livelihood being in jeopardy, or having to deal with a nasty situation may demand the type of assessment featured in this article. Furthermore, under certain circumstances, your competition my resort to clandestine methods in an attempt to gain an edge. It’s under these conditions that you’re forced to take additional steps to level the playing field. The approach outlined here allows you to do this.

Below I list several confidential areas of interest, discernible through comprehensive astrology and numerology in a Competitive Advantage Assessment, related to knowing your competition in remarkably uncommon ways.

1. Periods of strength, such as when the person is on top of their game–seemingly unconquerable (e.g., in negotiations, deal-making, etc.), most likely to receive recognition, or most likely to win a lawsuit and, or come out on top regarding any legal action.

2. Periods of weakness, such as when the person is most vulnerable, likely to talk too much and spill the beans, likely to encounter dangerous business opportunities, likely to be at risk for financial loss, likely to encounter people who are ultimately against their highest good, most likely to feel like they’ve been betrayed, likely to be humbled, under very poor timing to launch a new endeavor, at risk for ill-fated speculation, or likely to feel the most isolated and fearful.

3. Periods of transition, such as when the person is at a peak point in their career, likely to have to start over, or feeling like things are stagnant.

In conjunction with handwriting analysis ( http://scottpetullo.com/blog/2011/07/5-possible-ways-to-understand-and-outmaneuver-your-enemy/ ), a Competitive Advantage Assessment involving the above-mentioned areas of focus (and much more) can greatly help you reduce your risk.

Q & A: Sign of Scorpio and its Ruler Mars

Tuesday, March 27th, 2012

Question:
“I was wondering how masculine mars can rule a feminine sign like Scorpio? I’m not sure if the ancients saw Scorpio as the sign of sex, perhaps that was assigned to Leo and the 5th house? Also, if Scorpio does rule sex, isn’t that more of the domain of the feminine (perhaps sharing more in common with the moon?) which governs the mysteries of birth, death, the womb, etc…? Also, mars doesn’t seem like to be a reflective energy, it just acts on impulse, whereas Scorpio is instinctive and determined it is also introspective? Thank you!”

Answer:
Empirical observation over many centuries resulted in the most fitting rulers. It’s best to avoid seeing an issue between a masculine planet and feminine sign–they don’t have to match to be ruler/ruled—and I recommend avoiding over-simplifying the matter of sex.

I wouldn’t say Scorpio rules sex exclusively, at all. Sex related to astrology is a complex issue. It’s not one sign, it’s not one house, and it’s not one planet. There are dozens of variables.

Also, sex is not exclusively the domain of the feminine. Be careful to avoid embracing warped modern astrological concepts.

As to Mars not being “a reflective energy” and Scorpio being what you imply, Mars doesn’t have to be “reflective” to rule Scorpio, to be blunt, and whether or not Mars represents acting on impulse depends on its health and many other factors. I wouldn’t say the sign of Scorpio automatically can be linked to determination and introspection either.

Again, I recommend avoiding modern astrological theory, for the most part. It will only mislead you. Psychological astrology is largely a distorted version of authentic astrology–too creative in a detrimental way, like bratty, immature children playing a game, making up the rules to suit a self-serving agenda.

Mars is masculine, nocturnal, and overall a problematic force, but it can be made a very positive force through excellent health and placement. The sign of Scorpio is a feminine sign, as in energy coming to it, not moving outwardly from it, like with masculine signs. Also, please don’t confuse “feminine” (related to astrology) with beauty and grace.

Mars is also dignified in the sign of Aries, and it is exalted in the sign of Capricorn. I recommend studying the planets first, then how they function in the various signs.

Q & A: Gemini Sun Does Not Equate to Promiscuity

Tuesday, March 20th, 2012

Question:
“Hello, are Gemini women sexually promiscuous as they are portrayed so many astrology sites? I’m myself a Gemini guy and I believe in astrology but I find some Gemini characteristics really not accurate. I have big attraction for female Geminis and I don’t like the thought of them being so perverse.”

Answer:
It’s unclear which sites you are speaking of, but it should be noted that almost all of the “astrology” on-line and in mainstream publications is a trivialized, meaningless form of the authentic science.

Many people tell me that they “Don’t believe in astrology.” Well, I don’t believe in the astrology they’ve been exposed to either.

The idea that people having the Sun sign Gemini are more promiscuous than those with other Sun signs is absolutely false.

Promiscuity is symbolized in the comprehensive astrology and numerology charts by numerous indicators, the Sun sign hardly being one of them. I look for patterns comprised of various indicators in my systems of analysis that have proven time and time again to symbolize a pronounced affinity for sex.

Also, my opinion is that handwriting analysis more effectively discerns details of human sexuality since it acutely targets the subconscious mind, the real personality.

Please see this article, along with the linked articles at the end for more information about Sun signs and astrology:

Q & A: Why She Has a Problem With the Sign of Libra

Monday, March 12th, 2012

Question:
“My question has to do with problems relating to anyone with the Sun in Libra. For as long as I can remember I’ve had difficulty with Librans. They have all either betrayed my confidence, or caused problems in the job place, or just “messed me over” in general. It is such that I no longer befriend anyone who is a Libra. Is it possible that I have a conflicting planet/planets regarding Libra? I was born…(birth data withheld). Sun in Capricorn, Moon in Gemini, Capricorn ascendant, and I have at least five planets in Scorpio. (Interestingly enough, I am always compatible with Scorpios). Anyway, this has been a pattern for so many years that I decided to ask an expert, such as yourself. Thanks in advance.”

Answer:
First, it’s a common occurrence when someone tells me they’ve regularly had more challenges than usual with a particular Sun sign.

Note: please see this blog post and the linked posts at the end of it for information about why it’s important to avoid exclusive reliance on Sun sign astrology: http://scottpetullo.com/blog/2011/11/libra-and-capricorn-personality-similarities-and-differences/

It could appear to be a Libra Sun matter, but may not be. It could be something else that all of those people have in common.

I’d have to know how many people of all those you’ve had problems with have natal Sun in Libra. Could it be selective attention or a self-fulfilling prophesy on your part? Let’s say it’s not, and you really have had more problems with those who have a Libra Sun.

Since I don’t have the birth data of those people, here are some general possibilities:

1. Libra energy in your natal charts is very weak and under-represented; the sign of Libra is locked in a cadent house, the 9th.
2. Your natal Mars is very potent (the sign of Libra has a problem with Mars, you could say–Mars in Libra is a debilitated Mars). In fact, it’s the most potent heavenly body in your comprehensive charts, and not just because it rules your 1st, 10th, and 11th.
3. You have twice as much fixed energy as cardinal or mutable. Libra is a cardinal sign. Cardinal energy and fixed energy generally don’t harmonize.
4. Those specific people may have a heavy emphasis in their comprehensive charts on the sign of Libra and, or they may have a problem with the planet Mars.
5. When have the problems occurred? It could be more of an issue related to your timing rather than your natal configurations.

Rather than completely avoiding people who have a Libra Sun sign, it may be better to get to know them a little first, then find out their birth data.

Comprehensive astrology and numerology, particularly in conjunction with handwriting analysis, allows for deepening your understanding of human personality and reducing your exposure to risk.

Mercury Retrograde 3-12-2012 to 4-4-2012

Sunday, March 4th, 2012

Transits, retrogrades, eclipses, and other sporadic universal factors are modifying agents and marginal relative to your comprehensive astrology (and numerology) personal natal and timing configurations.

However, I believe it’s a good idea to be aware of such occurrences, particularly how they transpire in conjunction with your unique charts because they offer an adequate introduction to the cyclical nature of life, and can even assist in helping you to avoid some of life’s complexities:
http://scottpetullo.com/blog/2010/01/the-cyclical-nature-of-life-reflected-by-various-minor-astrology-factors/

It’s important to note that, like other universal factors, Mercury retrograde never holds the same exact emblematic impact for everyone; these two blog posts address the phenomenon of Mercury retrograde:
http://scottpetullo.com/blog/2011/03/mercury-retrograde-3-30-2011-7-points-to-consider/

http://scottpetullo.com/blog/2011/04/mercury-retrograde-follow-up-3-more-details-to-consider/

Mercury retrograde March 2012—April 2012 details:

1. Mercury goes retrograde 3-12-2012 at 12:49 a.m. PDT 06 degrees 49 minutes Aries.
2. Mercury goes direct 4-4-2012 at 3:11 a.m. PDT 23 degrees 50 minutes Pisces.
3. The pre-retrograde period (outlined in the first Mercury retrograde blog post linked above, lasting 17-28 days before Mercury goes retrograde) started approximately mid February 2012. Generally, I’ve found this pre-period to be more challenging than the actual retrograde period.
4. The first half of Mercury retrograde (the “collapse phase,” as I phrase it in the blog post linked above) runs from about 3-12-2012 to 3-23-2012.
5. The second 11-12 days of Mercury retrograde runs from about 3-23-2012 to 4-4-2012.
6. Mercury slides back into the sign of Pisces 3-23-2012; Mercury in the sign of Pisces (detriment) is an additional affliction, so this Mercury retrograde is likely to be a little more problematic, overall.

Basic things to keep in mind about Mercury retrograde:

As the planet Mercury represents perception, interpersonal interaction, business and personal travel, buying and selling (commerce), and more, related interruptions, delays and miscommunications are to be expected during Mercury retrograde. Reviewing the past, previously valued concepts and ideals falling to pieces, and coming up with fresh solutions tend to be frequent themes.

The best way to take into consideration a retrograde planet (or any other indicator) is to weigh it as a single sign, one of many, then look for patterns of corroborating indicators in your personal comprehensive charts.

Universal factors, especially the challenging phases, routinely show the regular cadence and cyclical nature of life and they can be identified well in advance.

Do the same exact things happen under each universal phenomenon? No, but noticeable themes show up time and again.

An awareness of select universal cycles and how they relate to your personal comprehensive charts allows you to make the most of your life and reduce your exposure to risk.

Astrology Triviality: the 12 Signs at a Party

Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

Question:
My question relates to something I have read about eons ago but cannot seem to find now. Is a scenario based question on the 12 signs and how they would interact with each other at, for instance, a dinner party? Something like that. Sometimes I feel like when I read anything to do with personality typing all fire signs sound the same, as do the water, earth and air. Your reply is very appreciated! Thank you.

Answer:
The almost universal viewpoint mistaking Sun sign astrology for authentic astrology is due to blatant distortion of the esoteric science for more than a century. 99% of what you find on the Internet regarding astrology is misinformation. Complex ancient methodologies are shoddily modified (rendering them useless) on popular sites in get-rich marketing schemes, and politically correct New Age agendas warp ancient astrological truths. It’s understandable that your exposure to astrology is limited to trivialities.

The fire signs include Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. Astrologically, fire is masculine, like air. Water and earth are feminine.

However, surely nobody really believes that everyone with fire Sun signs (24.9%+- of the population) has identical, or even noticeably similar, personalities.

Likewise, every person with a Libra Sun sign, for instance, won’t have the same personality strengths and weaknesses.

Being forced to assign a few qualities or just a paragraph to each sign isn’t really fair. Besides, people aren’t merely Sun signs just like they aren’t merely hands or noses; they have hundreds of other factors in their comprehensive charts. Authentic astrology involves pattern recognition involving those hundreds of indicators.

But to appease the demand for a surface approach (and humor), here is my take on each sign in a social setting, highlighting some of the more notorious attributes:

Aries: bull in a china shop; will shamelessly hit on you; doesn’t care what anyone thinks.

Taurus: will gravitate to the buffet and is desperately hoping to satiate her other, more intimate sensual needs later on in the evening.

Gemini: can talk to anyone and juggle many interests at once, including romantic.

Cancer: attends the party wanting to find a serious, long-term relationship; wonders how people enjoy being single; depressed.

Leo: can be the life of the party, won’t turn down a nightcap, and loves to talk, especially about herself.

Virgo: makes sure to dress appropriately and fastidiously, and expertly critiques the attire and behavior of everyone at the party.

Libra: loves to socialize, just don’t bring up anything too controversial or conflict oriented because he will leave the party.

Scorpio: secretive, yet deep and intriguing; expect kinky sex.

Sagittarius: socially driven, yet freedom oriented; don’t try to tie her down.

Capricorn: interested in business connections at the party; not the most socially inclined person; several people consider telling him to lighten up.

Aquarius: unusually open-minded; more socially motivated than average and more likely to accept an invitation to a threesome.

Pisces: heart of gold; escapist; enjoys his alcohol; and readily accepts an invitation to attend a drumming circle tomorrow.

Seriously, do any of the above samples definitively, consistently characterize all people who possess the respective Sun signs? Of course they don’t—not even close.

What they may do, however, is somewhat typify a person with a very significant amount of one specific sign (i.e., several heavenly bodies in one sign, especially potent ones relative to his or her natal charts) in his or her comprehensive charts. But those cases are rare, and many of those people don’t even have natal Sun in the related sign.

Personality analysis based exclusively on Sun signs, or just a handful of considerations, is impossible due to the fact that Sun sign astrology is a very superficial construct.

Origin of Misfortune is in the Past: How to Safeguard Yourself

Monday, January 16th, 2012

Results of empirical observation involving handwriting analysis and comprehensive astrology and numerology over a span of more than two decades indicate to me that mishaps and other challenges in life aren’t random.

The root of a problem, such as an accident, is in the past, whether that past is in this life or a previous one.

Through personal fate, negative self-subconscious programming (e.g., a person regularly exclaiming how “unlucky,” “clumsy,” or “broke” they are), or other ways such as a self-castigation complex, people sometimes unknowingly do themselves in.

It’s unfortunate, and regularly just a matter of unavoidable, immutable personal fate, but you do have the option to limit your exposure to risk, accidents, and life’s disasters.

3 ways to safeguard yourself from mishaps are listed below:

  1. Watch your thinking. Do you ever find yourself in a semi-daydream state imagining a calamity such as a car wreck or sports accident, or even just a minor physical ailment? Whenever you find yourself going down that mental path, reverse the image and envision yourself as safe and sound and avoiding danger; doing so leaves a positive imprint on your subconscious mind, reducing your risk. Another, more obvious way to limit life’s hazards is to strive to be centered. Meditation helps with this.
  2. Pay attention to the character of those in your life who you don’t yet know very well. Concerned about misfortune in conjunction with a potential business partner, for example? You should be, as you can’t control his or her behavior, but you can prepare yourself and limit your risk by identifying red flags through handwriting analysis and comprehensive astrology and numerology.
  3. Although it may sound excessively esoteric, it’s wise to learn about your unique personal fate through comprehensive astrology and numerology because it can absolutely prepare you to make the most of your life and handle life’s challenges more effectively, limiting the disadvantages. Finances, love life, family, career, and more—all significant areas of life include unique opportunities and risks and the more you know yourself as related to predestined karma and unalterable personal adversity, the better off you’ll be.

While you can’t avoid circumstances and events that are beyond your control, you can greatly reduce your risk by following the above advice.
